Today marks the third leg of Heather’s Big Adventure. As of the time of publication, we hadn’t gotten a status report from the ride site, but we’re able to give you a view of what should be happening today. Since we’re not going to be publishing news updates over the weekend, we’re also giving you a day-by-day view of the ride route tomorrow and Sunday, when the ride ends in Maine.

Today, the riders will travel from Quechee, Vermont (elevation 515 feet, where, from the camp, they can see Mt. Sunapee and Kearsage Mountain) down to Hopkinton, New Hampshire (elevation 50 feet), near Concord. After two days of “century rides,” each exceeding 100 miles, today’s ride will be a relatively mild 77 mile trek.

Saturday, the riders will leave Hopkinton, cycle through the charming New Hampshire state capital in Concord, and make their way to Wells, Maine, where their afternoon route hugs the Atlantic coast. Saturday’s ride is another 85 miles.

Sunday is the last day of this great adventure. Beginning in Wells, the riders will have an “easy day” 50-mile ride through pleasant seaside towns, finally arriving at their destination, crossing the drawbridge to closing ceremonies overlooking Casco Bay in Portland.

Once in Portland, it’ll be time for packing, goodbyes, and the trip home. We expect Heather to arrive back here at ZATZ on Monday or Tuesday. We’ll bring you further updates on Monday and we hope to have a full report for you shortly after her return.
